WIND-STACKER.

sr'aorntca'rron forming part of Letters Patent No. 700,760, dated May27, 1902.

l Application filed october s, 1900. seal No. 31,846. (No moat-.1.)

ZoaZZ 1071.071@ it may concern:

zen of the United States,residing at Otterbein, in the county of Bentonand State of Indian'aY have invented acertain new'and useful Improvementin Vind-Stackers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to the improvement of wind-stacker attachments forthreshingmachines; and the objects of my invention are to provide thesectional stacker-tube with an extensible hood whereby said hood may besupported at different distances from the end of the stacker-tube, to soconstruct my improved stacker as to control the deposit of the straw andchaff therefrom, to so construct the same as to prevent interferencewith the draft through the tube and thereby prevent the tube becomingchoked with wet straw, to admit of building the straw stack with acomparatively vertical rear side, to assist in topping the stack againstthe wind, and to accomplish other objects the details of which will beset forth hereinafter. These objects I accomplish in thev mannerillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a sideelevation of my improved stacker. Fig, 2 is a plan View of the same, andFig; 3 is an enlarged section on line x c 0f Fig. 1. c

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

1 represents a portion of a separator-top, from which rises the innersection 2 ofthe stacker-tube, this tube being adaptedin the usual mannerto receive and discharge the latter having extending forwardlytherefrom,

on opposite sides of the tube, rods- 5, these rods extending looselythrough outwardlyprojecting keepers or eyes 6, which are formed with orsecured on the outer sides of bands 7 rings 7 and 8.

and S, which respectively embrace the outer ends of the tube-sections 2and 3. Upon the 'upper side of the forward portion of the sec- -tion 2 Isupport a pulley-carrying yoke or bracket 9, within which are journaledpulleys 10 and 11. Upon the upper side ofthe yoke or arch 4 vissupported a similar pulleybracket 12,'in whichis journaled a pulley 13.Beyond the forward end of the tube-section 3 the rods 5 areconnected bya yoke 4or upwardly-curved bridge l-t. Pivotally secured to the outerend portions of the rods 5 are the lower ends of a hood-bow orarch-strip 15, the sides of this bow having pivoted thereto rearand'forwardbows 16 and 17. YThe'bows 15, 16, and 17 have secured thereina hood of suitable woven material 1S, which, as shown in the drawings,is adapted to extend below the bow 17. The bow 15 has connectedtherewith a downwardly-extending arm 19, which through the medium of aspring 20 is connected with one of the rods 5, the tension of saidspring being such as to normally retain the hood in position oppositethe end of the tube-section 3, as shown-in Fig. 1 of the drawings.Connected with the upper portion of the bracket 12 is one end of anoperating-rope 21, this rope. running from said bracket 12 forwardoverthe pulley" l0, back'over the pulley 13, thence -forward and overthe pulley 11, from which said rope runsto a bracket or standard 22,Awhich risesfrom the separator-top in rear of the stacker-tube. The rope21 may be detachably connected with said bracket 22. in any desiredmanner.

Connected with the outer hood-bow 17 is an operating-cord 23, the latterextending over` the hood and rearward to the bracket 22. As

`indicated at 24, I also provide a connection .between the top portionsof the brackets 14: and 22, which connection may be in the nature of arope, cable, or wire.

The manner of utilizing my improvements is as follows: It being desiredto move the hood forward it is evident that a pull upon 'the rope 21will impart a forward movement to theyoke 4t and sliding rods5, thelatter moving loosely in thel eyes G of the clamping- Itis obvious thatthis forward sliding movement of thehood-rodsis-accomplished aftersufficiently loosening the conloo necting rope or cable 24. By thisoperation of moving the hood forward it will be seen that said hood maybesupported at such distance from the outer tube-section 3 as to pre-Vent any interference with the draft through the stacker-tubel and atthe same time receive the straw and chaff and deflect the latterdownward onto the stack without undesirable scattering of the same. Itwill be seen that the hood may be extended to a point above the rearWallof the stack and the hood so turned as to cause a substantiallyvertical deposit of the straw and chaff, so that the wall of the vstackmay be built comparatively straight and substantially vertical. isobvious that by pulling inward on the cord 23 the outer or lower. bow ofthe hood may be folded back, together with the material comprising thehood, so as to impart a different inclination to the hood, if desired.It will also be seen that the extensible hood herein shown and theseparating and operating attachments therefor may be connected with anyof the ordinary forms of sectional wind-stackers and that the ordinaryhood, which for the sake of clearness is omittedin the drawings andwhich is usually supported from the outer end of the outer section 3,may be used for the purpose of deflecting and depositing the straw andchaff, or said hood may I am aware thatI sectional wind-stacker tubeshave been employed heretofore and that the outer tube-section isordinarily provided `with the hinged deecting-hood, and therefore do notclaim,broadly, such construction. Having now fully described myinvention,

what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters In a wind-stacker, thecombination with the inclined stacker-tube comprising sections 2 and 3one telescoping within the other, of rods 5 on opposite sides of saidtube, a slidable yoke 4 on said rear .section with which the rear endsof said rods are rigidly connected, said rods slidably supported inconnection' with both of said tubes, a yoke-frame 14- connecting lheouter portions of said rods, a cord connecting the latter with a fixedframe portion in rear of the inner tube-section, a hood-frame connectedwith the outer end portions of said rods and a hood connected therewithand means for imparting a sliding motion to said hood-supporting rods,substantially as specified.
